Hello, I very much need an answer because my doctor will not give me a straight answer. I'm currently on Lamictal (800mg a day) and Zonegran (200mg a day) and I'm a college student so I tend to drink. I've never had a seizure while consuming alcohol but I'm terrified when doing so. So heres my question...
When I drink (beer) with my meds, will it bring on a seizure? or just enhance the side effects?
Please I very much need to know asap! Maybe even stories would helpl too.
Hello!!!
I was wondering what anyones experience was on Zonegran. I have tried Topamax previously but couldn't withstand anything over 1/4 of a 25 mg pill....thats right 6.25.
Went to new NL and he rx Zonegran @ 25mg. I feel like a walking Zombie and have had a worsening (didn't know that was possible) migraine for the last 3 days which is how long I have been on this medication.
t think of them at this time)
I am now being treated with Zonegran, Depakote. The Zonegran was working for a little while but I have seemed to reach a plateau. I have not been migraine free at all since November, but there have been times where my migraines have been less painful. I work for a health insurance company and I am on the computer for 8 hours a day. I have been unalbe to work a full time scheule for the past 3 months due to my migraines.
t go to sleep when I am tired, I feel like there is always a motor running, and it is hard to get rest. I am wound like a rubber band. I am on 7 medications, and I would think by now, that I would be receiving some benefit. I was stopped by the police about 1.5 months ago for weaving on the highway. I have since managed to get a little more sleep. I have such a bad work schedule, it is hard to get any routine down, because then everything changes. Any suggestions?
I do not know who to go see about the aura, I had my eyes checked when the doctors were thought I had MS and I have 20-20 vision and no floaters. I presently see a neurologist who has me on zonegran 2oo mg and flexoril 3 times a day and Diflucan as needed and Maxalt. When the headaches get out of control she puts me on prednisone. I also see a physical therapist at her office weekly for the headaches. I have had trigger point injections ( did not help).
I am 31 year old healthy female. I work part time and have 2 small children. On Sept. 17 of 2012 around mid-morning when I began to have vision problems that included spots in my eyes and almost like a shadow fell over my left eye. I thought perhaps I was going to get a migraine since I had heard people describe them that way. The vision probs lasted about 45 minutes and when it went away a headache set in. It was what I would call a mild to moderate headache. Ever since I have a headache.
I read that Its 50/50. Depends though, I know ppl that are bipolar and have three kids, one has mood disorder. I'm bipolar, so is my husband and were having a baby in Nov. So I'm curious to see how this will work out. Either way what better people to help a child or someone deal with it then someone who actually has it themselves.

There is a genetic component to bipolar, so your child is more likely than the general population to get it, but it is by no means guaranteed. If both sides of the family are full of severe mental illness, then it's even more likely, but the incidence of bipolar in the population is low enough that even a significant increase in chance is still a pretty low chance.
Emotions come and go in bipolar at a regular frequency. As a person with the bipolar aspect of schizoaffective disorder things didn't stabilize for me until recently I got on a medication that they are realizing is working as a mood stabilizer in its secondary capacity. The family member with cyclothymia who has just started medication until then turned every minor issue into a crisis and was having repeat agitated mixed states.

Does your Dad have a diagnosis of bipolar? There are many reasons why some one will lie, but are you a 100% sure he is not telling the truth? because saying you have been abused when you haven't is a huge lie and i am not sure, other than to get attention why someone would say it.
